Multicast Content Provider Support
Applies To: Windows Server 2008 R2
The multicast server uses a content provider to transmit the data from the server to the client. The Windows Deployment Services content provider can transfer any file over a multicast transmission; however, you can create or use a custom content provider if you want additional functionality. For example, you could create a content provider that transfers a .zip archive, a .vhd image, or a database and then extracts data out of it. The providers must be functioning properly to deploy content using multicast transmissions.
